Sedmeročlana posada trgovačkog svemirskog teretnjaka The Nostromo, natovarenog s dvadeset milijuna tona mineralnih ruda, vraća se na Zemlju. Članovi posade na čelu s kapetanom Dallasom (T. Skerritt) bude se iz kriogenog sna uvjereni da će im tvrtka u čijem je vlasništvu brod isplatiti poveće sume zbog dobro obavljenog posla. I premda se činilo da je njihov povratak kući rutinska stvar, iznenadni poziv u pomoć s obližnjeg planeta natjera kapetana da postupi prema pravilima i odmah izvidi o čemu je riječ. Sletjevši, posada otkrije napušteni svemirski brod u kojem Kanea napadne primitivni stvor i zalijepi mu se za lice. Unatoč protivljenju časnice Ripley, ostali članovi odluče vratiti Kanea na brod nesvjesni da je biće koje ga je napalo samo početna životna forma inteligentnog i krvoločnog čudovišta.

THE BRAIN is an astonishing voyage of discovery into our last biological frontier. Although today s computers can make calculations in one-100th of a second and technology can transport us outside the bonds of Earth, only now are we beginning to understand the most complex machine in the universe. Using simple analogies, real-life case studies, and state-of-the-art CGI, this special shows how the brain works, explains the frequent battle between instinct and reason, and unravels the mysteries of memory and decision-making. It takes us inside the mind of a soldier under fire to see how decisions are made in extreme situations, examines how an autistic person like Rain Man develops remarkable skills, and takes on the age-old question of what makes one person good and another evil. Research is rushing forward. We’ve learned more about the workings of the brain in the last five years than in the previous one hundred.
